Yes, I know. Another Lanvin dress. But Lanvin make it very very hard for me not to write about them (except when they do high street collaborations). Look at the colour! Look at the drapy sexiness! I spy a Lanvin dress and I am utterly powerless. Especially one as snazzy as this one.

I know I should look at the dusky rose colour and think 'grandma'. But I don't. I think I had a duvet cover that colour once. I don't care. On this dress it looks fantastic. The ribbon sets it off perfectly and the thigh split stops it from being mumsy. There's nothing mumsy about this dress. But I reckon my mum would look awesome in it (after she'd stopped balking at the £1880 Net-a-Porter price tag).

Not my usual modest style, but a very beautiful number none the less. Just shows that something doesn't have to be 'on trend' to be fashionable and beautiful. Lanvin do timeless so very well, I'd invest my pennies in this than something I'll never wear again come next February.
